Non-metal Themed Mixtape Game

[Omni]

Thanks. Ratings are closed now. I won't be able to calculate all of this stuff for a few hours at best because I have to head home and eat, shower and get some things ready for tomorrow, so someone else is welcome to do so and PM me the results if they feel like it.

for the record i am an insanely nostalgic '90s kid, but even i have my limits. i suppose it could've been worse and been babybird 'you're gorgeous' or anything by simply red.

btw HBB if you liked the townes song you'd probably like *early* leonard cohen.

I specifically asked you in a PM if you could do it for me because I am at Disney World today with friends. Check your PMs.

If you do it, PM me the results and I will post it with the names. I'm not at home so doing it all would take too long.

Congrats!

Holy shit I am glad I didn't win.

Holy shit I am glad I didn't win.

I'll tell you one thing. Track the ratings before the game is over. I was too lazy and thankfully @no country for old wainds took care of it for me because I wound up too preoccupied to do it.

If you win, I will help you do it.

KING OF THE GAYS IS A BOTTOM.

 

[Phylactery]

Is 2.86 the lowest average we've had so far?

I'm happy with the top 4. I do think Coil should have been higher.

 

[Omni]

I'm not sure. I would be curious to know what the highest average was.

 

[no country for old wainds]

the diverse reactions to mine were fun. people calling it passionate, serene, funky, boring and all sorts. i think it's incredibly obsessive, fevered, desperate, epic 'n wild m'self, which means it's pretty much my musical ideal.

also feel like i learned more about people's tastes from this one round than all the metal ones combined.

SOUNDS LIKE A CHALLENGE

 

[no country for old wainds]

i can confirm that savage garden did better than eluveite.

 

[Omni]

Indeed. After the current metal one is over, I guess we can find out what the highest average was.

 

[no country for old wainds]

na i'm doing it now hold on

 

[Phylactery]

Pretty sure it was Scald so far with around 8.3. I think that might be beaten by the Ancient History theme, though.

 

[no country for old wainds]

Best
Scald - Night Sky 8.38 (Vegard Pompey)
Saint Vitus - Dying Inside 8.18 (EspaDa)
Voivod - We Are Not Alone 8.00 (Baroque)
Sacramentum - When Night Surrounds Me 8.00 (Phylactery)
Swans - Miracle of Love 7.92 (EspaDa)

Worst
The Wizards - Dragon Slayers 2.33 (The Butt)
Eluveite - Call of the Mountains 2.59 (arg)
Savage Garden - Truly Madly Deeply 2.86 (Black Orifice)
Evergrey - The Shocking Truth 3.25 (requiem)
The Black Dahlia Murder - Vlad, Son of the Dragon 3.30 (EspaDa)

@EspaDa is a man of extremes.

 

[Omni]

I think the Rainbow track may wind up with a higher average, but we won't know until it actually ends.

 

[no country for old wainds]

i bet maiden are doing well too.
